Conference 7.286::sports_91

I've been following the 'EEI thing too.  One article said that one of their big
reasons for doing this is that they can dismiss much of their news staff, and 
thus save big bucks.  Andy Moes was really obnoxious with Joe and Andy, I 
he will model his style after Don Imus on WFAN.

I'm curious about what people who live in cities with all sports stations think 
of them. How is the quality of the hosts?  Do they have enough to keep you 
interested?

I'll be listening, except I will stick with Dale Arnold during afternoon drive
time over Eddie Andleman.

=Bob=

    
    I live in Philadelphia where WIP-AM (610) does the all sports thing.
    They have Tom Brookshier (former Eagle and CBS broadcaster) and Angelo
    Cataldi (former Phila Inquirer writer) in the morning drive time, Bill
    Cambell (dean of Phila broadcasters, did play by play for the Phillies,
    76ers, Eagles, Temple, and Penn, I believe) from 10 to noon, Jody
    McDonald (from WFAN and son of the Tiger GM Joe McDonald) noon until 4
    and Howard Eskin (Mr. Obnoxious) from 4 to 7. They also do the radio
    broadcasts for the Flyers, Eagles and 76ers, as well as Penn State
    football and Notre Dame Football. 
    
    They switched over to all sports about 4 years ago and have been making
    progress in the ratings. The morning drive time show is a light hearted
    look at sports, although not as light as Imus on WFAN. I keep my radio
    mainly on WIP. My kids just call it the "sports junk". 
    
    

 When I lived near Philly, my car radio was also fixed at WIP-AM
 (610).    I enjoyed the all-sports format quite a bit.
 
 I wish they had it here in Charlotte but it would probably be
 saturated with way too much Snuffy Worship and NASCAR arguments.
 
 Bob Hunt

    Just who is this Imus character????  My brother-in-law, who lives near
    the Catskills always tells me i should hear this guy, but I've never
    succeeded.  Is he really that funny????????????????????
    
    Hey Bob Hunt, if that radio station is in Philly, shouldn't it be 
    "WIMP" ??   (8^)*

    
    JaKe
    

Don Imus does the morning drive time show on WFAN in NY.  I personally have 
never heard him, but several friends in the listening area talk about him a lot.

I guess the story is that he used to be a big druggy, and since straightening 
himself out hates everyone and everything.  He knows very little about sports,
and his morning show is largely a comedy thang.  I knew I would like the guy
when my friend told me that he refers to Pat Riley as "a suit with mousse".

=Bob=

 Imus is older than dirt.   Hell, I used to listen to him on WNBC-AM
 (660) outta New York since before I even knew or *thought* about
 doin' the Pee-Wee Thang.

 Bob Hunt

    Bob M, I agree with you on Dale Arnold.  He's a breath of fresh air on
    HDH and as far as I'm concerned, Eddie can stay on vacation.
    
    Mark.

       Great P-name Jake!!1
                                       Denny 

    I agree with Denny, Jake - that p-name has me rolling!!!
    
    Even though I live in MA, I listen to WFAN a lot (good car radio).
    The team of Ed Coleman (used to work in Boston) and Dave Sims from
    10-2 is very good, and Mike and the Mad Dog (Mike Francesa and Chris
    Russo) are also an excellent tandem.  FAN does a lot of interviews,
    keeps call-in short, and the people behind the mike know their stuff
    (unlike Eddie, for example!).  I listen to Mike and the Mad Dog on the
    way home from work rather than Eddie, no matter how weak the signal is.

    I hear WEEI is owned by the Celtics.  

       Yup! along with WFXT Channel 25. As a Celtic stockholder I'm proud
    to own a piece of Kelly Bundy!
                                       Denny

       Absolutely! Just give her a call and tell her I said it was okay.

    PS If it works make sure you let me know.
                                      

    Don Imus is a_octogenarian drunk who got smoked right out a his job
    at WNBC by the great, the one, the only... Howard Stern.  He's a bum
    and I'm shocked and disappointed to find that WFAN hired him.  No 
    doubt they brought him on cuz a his name recognition factor.
    
    MrT

Imus is solely responsible for turning WFAN into a huge success.  It
was really struggling before he came on board.  The guy has set the
record for highest ever drive-time ratings in New York.  Howard 
Stern is a desperate loser who has never had an original or funny
thought in his career.

Laker_Ken

	FYI, Imus also tried a stint as a VJ on VH1 about 5 (?) years ago, but it didn't
last too long.  Don't know why he left (no talent?  not enough money? not enough
of an audience to feed his ego?), but he wasn't on VH1 for too long before returning
to radio.

Mac

    Howard smoked Imus when they went tete-a-tete during the morning
    drive time.  Howard's the funniest, most creative guy there is in
    talk radio.  If he's a loser that'll come as a helluva surprise to
    Arbritron, the program director who just gave him his second huge
    contract, and the television network that is set to roll out his
    national TV show.

    Since when does guttoral filth, talking about certain bodily functions,
    and just being an out and out PUKE =funny and creative.
    
    Hey "T", need to borrow my dictionary.  Stern's value is mostly shock
    value and the people he appeals to are mostly gutter dwelling
    low-life's.
    
    JMHO,
    
    JaKe
    
    

I would hardly cite the TV show as an indication of success.  After
all, plenty of talentless stiffs have been granted chances to strut
their lameness on TV.  Witness Morton Downey, Pat Sajak, Alan Thick,
and Wally George to name just a few recent examples.  I saw one of
Stern's shows recently, and after ten minutes I was so bored that
I was seeking refuge in the Home Shopping Network.

    Yeah, *right*.  That's why Stern's show posted the highest ever
    listener demographics (income, disposable income, etc.) for a rated 
    commercial radio talk show 
    
    Btw, the apostrophic contraction in "life's" would be used only to
    form either a possessive or noun-verb contraction, not to make a simple
    plural.
    
    And the word's spelled guttural, not "guttoral."  
    
    >Hey "T", need to borrow my dictionary.
    
    It's embarrassing to hear you of all people say this.  Would a
    dictionary help me figure out what incomplete sentences mean?
    
    No wonder you don't like Howard.  It's over your haid!

    They don't call me "MrT: SPORTS' Objective Analyst" for being
    unfactual.  
    
    Fact is, I'm among the factual in this place.  Take .24, wherein
    poor JaKe gits humiliated with my factually correct corrections.
    
    Howard Stern celebrated on-air quarterly mulling over the Arbitrons
    and how good his numbers were, especially in comparison to the then
    sinking Imus' sad-sack numbers.  That's why Howard is the highest 
    paid guy in the biz, he's got the numbers, the demographics.  They
    wouldn't pay him all that dough if, er, poor JaKe had his "facts
    straight" on Stern's listenership, now would they?
    
    As for you, ACCrockmeister.  You've been quiet in 17 today.  Why
    is that.  Could it be cuz you went yellow skeert and ran when the
    Antis finally, fed up and out of kindhearted patience, threw the
    gauntlet down and DEMANDED that you FINALLY own up to the facts as
    they have been established on the matter (no the least a which 
    established by MrT).
    
    You are yellow.  You are craven.  You are sneaky.  You are mistake-
    prone.  You are JaKe's friend.  'Nuff said.
    
    MrT

    Hey Sr. Mary Elephan"T":
    
    >>wouldn't pay him all that dough if, er, poor JaKe had his "facts
    >>straight" on Stern's listenership, now would they?
    
    I never "quoted" any facts, you did and have yet to produce them.
    My question, what age group is Stern's huge numbers beaming in, the
    15-19 year olds????
    
    >>poor JaKe gits humiliated with my factually correct corrections.
    
    Most people of reasonable brains in ::SPORTS_91 take grammatical errors
    as a fact of life.  It is the person who has been spurned who resorts
    to petty BS like nitpicking grammar and spelling.  I weren't humiliated
    at all, just returning the nit.
    
    >>They don't call me "MrT: SPORTS' Objective Analyst" for being
    >>unfactual.  
    
    
    Just who is this "they",  the brain dead?????  You're just about as
    "objective" as a certain Clevescum Brown(spot)s(tm) fan is objective
    about the 'Spots.   
    
    You, "T", if statistics were kept on whose notes get passed by with
    "next unseen", would probably be the world record holder in notes
    passed.

I watch Howard Stern once in a while.  He's on Channel 9 (WOR) out
of NJ.

I can take only so much of him.  He has had some humdingers on his shows.
I got a real kick out of the night that he had the lesbians on, and
his bikini-clad spokesmodel was shilling Snapple Iced Tea.  Howard
decided to give the spokesmodel a Snapple Iced Tea rubdown, and in 
the middle of doing that he yells, "Come on, lesbians, join in".

I don't know, I thought it was hysterically funny.  The "Swingers" dating
game was cool too.


But, for the most part, with his show running into SNL, I'd rather turn it
over and watch Wayne's World, or Dieter on Sprockets (or *anything*
with Victoria Jackson).....


JMHO,

    The 'Police

This morning's paper reports that Boston's all-sports station (WEEI) rouonded 
out its lineup by signing Dale Arnold away from WHDH.  From what I remember, it
looks like this:

	5-9 am - Andy Moes      - Morning drive time "Imus Wannabe"
	9-12   - Dale Arnold    - Former Pats play-by-play, 'HDH talk
	12-4   - Glen Ordway    - Celtics play-by-play guy
	 4-7   - Eddie Andleman - Resident big mouth
         7-11  - Craig Mustard  - Only sport talk on station for couple of years
	11-1 am- Ron Barr       - Nationally syndicated sports interviews

I'm personally bummed because I was looking forward to Arnold doing the 4-7 PM 
show on WHDH.  I don't mind Andleman, but can't take him day in and day out.

=Bob=

btw - sorry to non-Bostonians who this has little consequence to...

    Nyah shaddap, JaKe.  Quit your whining.  
    
    >I never "quoted" any facts...
    
    Now you're lying.  You stated flatly that Stern's listenership was
    comprised of low-life scumbags.  In fact, his Arbitron's are the 
    best ever, with a high Q for male listeners between 20-40 with rich
    demographics.  This is why Howard makes so much money, he commands 
    the best ad rates in the world's biggest radio market.
    
    >nit picking...
    
    And now you're crying [nothing new for you].  I NEVER correct the
    dysfunctional grammar of another unless it comes in the form of a
    (mistaken) correction, which in your case it did, what with the brain
    daid retardo drivel about how I needed your dictionary.  Keep the
    obtrusions down to your level of literacy and we won't have any
    problems and you'll be able to make all the mistakes you want without
    any comment from me...
    
    MrT

According to a story on WFAN which appeared in the Globe about
a month ago, the Imus in the Morning 6-10 drive-time show set
the record for most advertising revenue generated for any one-month
period in radio talk show history.  Also noted in the story is that
Imus is paid over $2 mill/year.

    none was expected.
    
    You asserted something as fact and it turned out to be otherwise.  You
    did so in the context of a (mistaken) correction.  You failed.  And then
    you had the utter gall to complain about your failure as being the fault
    of another.  Shame on you and the fly-bitten nag you rode in on.

    it, I could buy this company and still throw a national beer party with
    the money left over.

    Stern" facts????    With statistics such as you quoted, it must be a
    national publication.  I WANT TO LOOK THESE "FACTS" UP!!!

    Geez, speaking of WEEI, they changed their format from NEWS to SPORTS
    today.
    
    So, without warning, I hop in the car at 6 AM and turn on the radio. 
    What do I hear?  Why, some dweeb who sounds like his shorts are too
    tight.  He's insulting his co-worker, and appears to want to become an
    Andelman clone.  I didn't catch any of the names, but I'm gonna find me
    a new station for the morning ride.  
    
    lEe

       He's Andy Moes. Late of the 'Joe and Andy ' show on WROR. He is
    sometimes obnoxious. But he's better than listening to Marjorie
    Claptrap or some of the other morning folk.
                                   Denny

Yeah, I forgot about it and left my clock-radio set to WEEI.  I was awakened by
this obnoxious jerk whining about the people complaining that the old format
was gone.  His big thing is puerile sexual innuendo.  Not even subtle about it. 
I gotta admit it did get me out of bed in a hurry.  Couldn't get to the radio
fast enough to shut it off.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the lineup.  Dale Arnold was supposed to be
interviewing Joe Morgan, Dave Gavitt, Tommy Hodson, some Bruin coach, and a
couple of other big names just today.  I always liked Dale when he filled in
for Andelman.  He's quite knowledgeable in alot of areas.

The syndicated shows at night might also be interesting.  It will hopefully be
a good opportunity to get a view of Sports outside route 128.

I'll never understand why they didn't choose something else during the morning. 
I think they could have placated the news junkies with at least an attempt at
some downsized reporting for at least a couple of hours.  It would certainly
beat this jerk poking everything that moves/talks with a stick.

So what are other news junkies listening to in the morning?  I'm probably going
to have to do WBUR.

j.

    
    Jeff,
    	WBZ has been running ads touting themselves as Boston's new News
    station. 
    
    On the AM dial there really isn't a whole lot of choice out there
    during drive time. At least Claptrap and Whitless balance each other
    and have some pretty interesting topics. 
    
     

       I just caint listen to her (Claptrap) especially not first thing in
    the morning! I don't even like thinking about it. It gives me chills!!
                                Denny

Boston's new nooze radio station (WBZ) certainly sounded like talk-radio when I
tuned in this morning.

    Stevie Ray at 100 db beats the hail outta any news show.
    
    Mark.

    There is no all-news radio station in Boston anymore.  Boston is the
    only Big City without one.

    Jeff, you got it right when you referred to that Andy as being
    obnoxious.  What a jerk!  
    
    I listened in this morning, again, and it didn't get any better.  So,
    it's bye-bye to WEEI for my morning drive.
    
    One other guy on this station gets to me, and that's Craig Mustard. 
    I've listened in for about 2 months, on and off.  It'll be OFF from now
    on.  What I can't stand about him is his trying to come off as an
    expert on every aspect of every sport.  If he's so damn smart, how come
    he's working for a living?  Why isn't he the manager of the Sox?  He's
    got all the answers.  Too negative for me.
    
    Besides, I miss the news.  During the Gulf War, WEEI was the station I
    was glued to.  They had constant updates and reports, without
    interruptions from "talk" hosts.  Same with the turmoil in Russia a few
    weeks ago.  
    
    It's too bad we've no news station.  Guess I'll have to find who has
    the best drivetime news and shift over to them.  Too much can happen
    overnight in this day's world.
    
    Lee

    WBZ claims to be Boston's news station but has too much talk for it to
    be that - except for one time period.  Afternoon drive time, from 4-6,
    is strictly news.  It's worth listening to if you enjoy news but it's
    still not as good as WEEI was.
    
    In morning drive time, their newscasts are excellent and I enjoy
    listening to Gil Santos on sports.  You do have to put up with Tom
    Bergeron as a call-in host in between the news though.  He's pretty
    bland and does have some interesting guests but it's more like a Today
    Show or Good Morning America on the radio.
    
    An all-news format is expensive and it's almost certainly less
    expensive for WEEI to go the route they have but I kind of doubt they
    can make it as an all-sports station.
    
    I've always thought Andy Moes was completely obnoxious and never
    listened to him again after I learned just how obnoxious he was.  Read
    in the paper today that a couple of morning advertisers are threatening
    to pull their ads after hearing Moes yesterday.
    
    John

     WEEI is, for me, unreachable because of some jerkwater station
    
    broadcasting in Worcester (WORC) at 570AM or 590 I dunno but it
    
    'splashes' over and steps on WEEI so I don't do either.
    
    Am I mistaken in remebering that Providence has an all-news all a time
    
    station somewhere around 640 and is a CBS affilliate?
    
    Kev
    

       There's a Worc. station (1440) picking up WEEI's programming.
                                         Denny

    Lee, if you like news, try one of the NPR FM feeds.
    
    Did WHDH (mercifully) abandon Mike Crispino as Eddie Anvilhead's
    replacement?  I hope so.  I don't need a cheerleader doing sports.
    
    Mark.

    Andy Moes seems like a Hippie who never grew up.  I don't know if Imus
    is as obnoxious as he is, but Moes is the pits.
    
    I turned on WHDH yesterday afternoon and they had some guy doing
    straight talk.  I guess they abandoned afternoon drive time sports.
    Crispino was no bargain, but it's too bad Eddie won't have any
    competition.
    
    =Bob=

    
    The Glob had a shortie about Andy Moes and I think it said that
    
    in the late 60's Andy was a narcotic cop on the Hyannis police
    
    force.  He busted one of the Kennedy's.
    
    Kev
    

    
    Moes is taking alot of heat for both his style and content. WEEI is
    losing long time advertisers because of it. Look for Moes to tone it
    down or be gone pretty fast. 
    
    

    Moes is nothing more than a god dam pig! He sucked at WROR and now he
    sucks at WEEI. I refuse to listen to he so-called broadcasts. I have
    phone WEEI and told them that!

    Denny, at least I don't look like him... Say, you two do seem to have a

    REK+Andy Mose = Barbie Twins?
    

       In case anyone's interested, Eddie Anvilhaid will be doing his
    Monday football show from the Food Court at the Greensale Mall in
    Whistah nexted week.

    REK, I happened to dial in WEEI this AM to catch the scores.  No ANDY!!
    
    A couple of callers asked, and no answer was given.  One even said he
    heard that Moes had been fired last Friday.
    
    Anyone hear the facks?
    
    lEe

    That would be too good to be true.....
    
    REK

       According to today's Glob, Andy Moose was out with the flu. The
    paper and WEeeEeeI were 'bombarded' with calls asking where he was.
                                     Denny

    More popular, Denny?
    
    Maybe.  For me, though, I'd like to know if he's gone so that I can
    once again tune in each morning.  I hate tuning in and hearing his
    voice, so I rarely attempt it.

       For those who can't get enough of Eddie Anvilhead, he's got a talk
    show coming up on Sportschannel Tuesdays starting on 9/8. It'll be
    football oriented I guess because his sidekicks will be the 'Touchdown
    Twins', Ron Hobson and Kevin Mannix. I think it's at 8:00.
                                    Denny

    	Hobson and Mannix are informative and entertaining.  They should
    keep Eddie off his tangents.  Could be interesting.
    
    				/Don

    
    Like maybe they'll keep the discussions about Chinese food to a
    minimum.  Either that or we'll see Joyce Chen making guest appearances.

    I heard that WEEE  EEEEE EYE canned the morning host Andy Moste and
    he's been replaced by Tom Doyle (WVBF-FM; home of Lorin and Wally) and
    some other guy (Maybe Craig Mustard?) because it was the only shift
    that didn't really talk sports.
    
    I cain only hope Eddie Ainvilhaid gets the same treatment.
    
    Kev
    

        Andy Moose has 2 years left on his contract. If they don't settle
    it, he'll be on from 5-6. Janet Prensky is history after tomorrow too. 
    Eddie has a couple years left on his contract for BIG BUCKS! They
    cain't afford to can him too, and wouldn't anyway. He brings in the
    most sponsor money. Craig Mustard is taking over the morning drive time
    show. I heard a rumor that they're talking to Guy Mainella (hope so)
    about doing a show. I guess Dale Arnold is staying too (good). I think
    I read that Jimmy Meyers is taking over the 7:00 PM show when Mustard
    switches. Hopefully they'll get Guy to do that one eventually.
                                     Denny

    Jimmy Meyers has been doing the 19:00 slot for a few days lately.  When
    double eue  eeeee eeeee aye first went all sports about 2 years ago, he
    got the Saturday AM slot and I loved it!  
    However, his constant B'ng and moaning racial slant is beginning to
    get old.  I prefer Craig in the nighttime slot.
    
    just my two cents,
    Kev
    

Da new lineup for eeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee iiiiiiiiiii:

early am:  Tom Doyle - non sports guy
	   Craig Mustard - sports guy 
mid am     Dale Arnold - best guy they've got
early pm   Dave Shea - former mornng sports guy and Broons TV guy
           Glen Ordway - Celtics play-by-ply, not there a lot 
pm drive   Eddie Andleman - he of the huge contract
evening    Jimmy Meyers - Hoop background

I'll give the am show another chance - Andy Moes was the biggest jerk on radio. 
Meyers is great.  He does overdo the racial slant, but at least he get excited 
about what he talks about.  I' love them to put Arnold on soemtime when I could
hear him.

They also have soem good sydicated stuff overnight, particularly Ron Barr out 
of San Fran.

Overall I really like the station.  My only complaints are that they try too
hard for ratings, and get off sports.  This is Andleman's thing.  Since Eddie 
came to EEI, Mustard started doing the same thing.  When he was their only 
sports guy, he was pretty straight, now he blabbers about hsi ex-wife, his 
girlfriend, etc.

Once again, apologies to out of towners, who this means nothing to.

    Hey, I'm a outa towner & it means sumfin to me!
    ;^)
    
    Out here in the wild west (beyond 128) double eue EEEE EEEE AYEEEE
    is simulcast on 1440AM - 14Q EXCEPT for Saturday mornings when they
    do some stupid recorded country music wailing.  It's absolutely
    frustrating NOT to be able to get Jimmy Meyers until almost 9:00AM
    when he's got 1 hour to go and ususally at that time he does the
    "double caller" thing.
    
    t'is a pain!
    
    I remain,
    gettin along little doggie,
    Wild West Kev!
    
    

    Alway wondered who listened to the all-sports radio stations when there
    was no game on, now I know.
    
    Andy Moes was pretty good when he was team up with Joe Martel on 
    98.5 WROR before they changed their format and the call letters. Joe
    was able to keep Andy in line, mostly, and they did some really good
    stuff together.

    Bob,
    
    for you maybe there is an exception, what late nights with a new kid.
    But you're right about all those other bozos :-)
    
    The Crazy Met
    

    Ya know TcM,
    
    "Bozo's" who listen to da radio frequently do other productive things
    while listening.  Beats being a "couch potatoe(tm)".
    
    I COULD make not-so-nice remarks about people who note at 2:00AM
    but I feel like a nice guy today so I won't.  ;=)
    
    I remain,
    one who gets to bed usually b4 you!
    Kev
    

    I recall when Guy Manella was on WBZ quite a few years ago.
    
    Guy was a fairly intelligent person. Started an uproar when he made
    disparaging remarks about drum and bugle corps. Really hilarious stuff.
    
    Seemed he always had a hard core or neanderthals that would call with
    the same questions:
    
    "Ah, yuh, Guy? Yeah, well, Guy, what do yuh dink o' da __________."
    
    In the dotted line, insert one of the following:
    
    	Bruins		Red Sox		Celtics
    	Patriots	BC Eagles	NU Huskies
    	BU Terriers	NY Giants	Harvard Crimson
    	Celtics Coach	Bruins Coach	Red Sox Manager
    	NY Mets		NY Yankees	Patriots Head Coach
    
    He had regulars like Malden Ron and Frankie the Yankee who were great. 
    
    Really miss his show.
    
    Rich
    

       HE was the one who started calling pro wrestling 'rasslin'. He had
    one guy who always called him Gee, (French version like Guy Lefleur.)
    If he comes back, I'll tape his show if it's on during the day!
                                    Denny

Andleman called Manilla "Gee".  I also think that Andleman hated his guts, 
although it may have been hype.

       There was a regular caller that called him 'Gee' too. 
    

    Kev,
    
    2 points: 1. some of us work in jobs that are not 9-5 :-)
    2. I could be in a place where 2AM EDT is really the afternoon.
       (of course if that were the case, now would be about 5AM :-)
    
    The Crazy Met
    

    In all seriousness, Kev. You are more likely to find notes form me that
    were posted at 2AM then a 7,8,even 9AM. Mornings should begin at 11AM
    abything sooner than that is a waste of good sleeping time.
    
    The Crazy Met
    

    Andy Mose is nothing more than a PIG! I called the station and
    complained when thay hired him to be the morning "PIG". I told the
    program direstor that I had to listen to WBZ to get a "sports" report
    and to find our what happened the night before. 
    
    When I ride to work I want to hear what the hell happened last night in
    sports. Not some FAT PIG who wants to get his rocks off on the radio.
    I like to listen to Dale Arnold and Mr. Mustard.. At least they have a
    clue what is going on in the area's sports. Ed A.... Some needs to tell
    him that he is not bigger than the sports around here. I pat him on the
    back for his charity work BUT anything else that has to do with sports
    I'll pass..
    
    Janet had a problem with being too wishy-washy.. She only touched on
    the general side of sports and not the real meat. I don't think she was
    really a sports fan but a person who followed it in the papers.
    
    Glen.. If he ever shut his mouth and let the callers talk he might make
    it yet...
    
    REK
    
    I call about once a week so I do listen to it.....

    I'm glad 1) Mose is gone and 2) Myers gets a better time slot.  The
    man can get me rolling when he gets on a roll... the night Hatcher
    stole home was a classic...
    

    
    As reported in the Woostah paper lasted week, WEEI has served notice
    to WVEI (formerly 14Q 1440AM) that it intends to terminate the 
    simulcast agreemement.
    
    This means that Eddie Anvilhaid, Jimmy Meyers, etc, as well as
    many of the sports events being broadcasted will no longer be heard
    in the Woostah area.
    
    They'll probably switch over to bible-belt broadcasting......
    
    :*(
    
    I remain,
    unhappy with this!
    Kev
    

    Kev,
    
    Stop bitc**n :-). Now you have a chance to catch a REAL all sports
    radio station. WFAN - 660 - from NY should come in loud and clear most
    of the time.
    
    The Crazy Met
    

    
    Nope, WFAN has a very, very weak signal for me probably because of the
    hills in the area block the signals.  660 is also squeezed at both
    ends and I get "splash" or "cross-talk".  Only time I ever got an
    acceptable signal was early Sunday mornings!
    
    :^(
    
    I remain,
    wondering if they have Home Shopping on radio?
    Kev
    

I always get bleed-over on the station I listen to. 

I listen almost exclusively to WPLR 99Rock out of New Haven.  They're
at 99.1 on the dial.

While I like Big Band music, I do NOT like the Massachusetts version
on 99.1.   On some foggy mornings (always seems to be a foggy morning
when it happens) I get a lot of bleed-over from the Mass station.....


'Saw

    Hmm. 660 comes in pretty well in Cambridge all the time and that is
    farther from NY than where you live Kev. Too bad.
    
    The Crazy Met
    

       We're talkin' Sports radio here 'Saw, keep that music stuff in the
    Junk Note!! 8^)
       I get WFAN pretty good in Leominster, and there's plenty a hills
    around. Must have the right bounce.
                                Denny

    I do get the Providence stations pretty well though.
    
    Like Denny and MtM said, it's the hills and the bounce!
    
    I remain,
    still not happy about it AND doing late night work like TcM!
    Kev
    

    RE .101
    
    Yeah, that reminds me of a story about some baseball player who played
    winter ball in Puerto Rico or Venezuela. He had a TV when he was there,
    but didn't bring it back to the US with him because "it only picked up 
    the Spanish stations"
    
    Tom

    I get FAN except when I drive home.  Might be because I live near the
    WRKO (680) antennae.

       Anyone heard any news on WEEI's Jimmy Myers? He collapsed in the
    Bulls locker room after the game last night. 11:00 news said he was
    'alert' in the hospital. I listened to WEEI for 20 minutes on the way
    in and didn't hear them say anything.
                                         Denny

All they're saying (at his request) is that he's stable and alert.  He has
asked that the details be kept private at this time.

    Myers: Dale Arnold just reported that a heart attack has been ruled
    out.
